Police, ambulance and fire crews were called to the address in Butterworth Close yesterday evening, and spent around an hour trying to resolve the situation.
Firefighters forced an entry so police could get into the house and talk to the 48-year-old, who was in the property with his partner.
The incident ended without injury.
